I am one of the 78 experts who signed an open letter opposing a no-fly zone in Ukraine. Our argument is that “[G]oing to war with Russia, a nuclear peer of the United States, would expose Americans to vast and unnecessary risks.” And of course it would also expose Europe to even greater dangers.
Our letter comes on the heels of an Atlantic Council-led group openly advocating for a “limited no-fly zone ” in Ukraine. It is our belief that “[a] no-fly zone would expand the war, not stop it.”
